Road Freight Team

IFE Global Digital Logistics has extensive knowledge and abilities in handling all logistical requirements.

Prior to shipments reaching their destination, IFE Clear handles customs declarations and duty obligations using DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) incoterms.

Avoid delays. Eliminate surprise VAT. Let your freight flow.

Ensuring customers WILL NOT be hit with any unforeseen costs. It also eliminates the necessity for import VAT payments throughout Europe.

Relax while your shipments move along without interruption thanks to DDP incoterms, which, unlike DAP, do not require your shipments to stop while VAT and tax are paid.

What is Regime 40/42?

Regime 40/42 is a customs procedure that allows VAT to be deferred at the point of import into the EU. It’s designed to streamline the movement of goods between EU member states and eliminate the need to pay import VAT upfront — improving cash flow, reducing delays, and simplifying compliance.

Here's how it works:

  • Goods are imported into one EU Member State (e.g. France) from a non-EU country.
  • Those goods are then transported to a second EU Member State (e.g. Germany) as part of Intra-Community supplies.
  • Instead of the importer paying VAT when the goods first enter the EU, the VAT responsibility is transferred to the purchaser in the second Member State.
  • The VAT in that second country is charged at 0%, meaning no VAT is actually paid at any point in the transaction.

This process — often referred to as DDP using Regime 42 — allows businesses to bypass the usual VAT charges at the border, saving time, money, and administrative effort.

Why Use Regime 40/42?

  • VAT deferment — no upfront VAT payments at the border
  • Reduced transit time — shipments move without stopping for tax
  • Cash flow friendly — protect working capital
  • No need for T1 documents — save time and admin
  • Lower haulage costs — no delays, no wasted driver hours

All you need is a VAT account in France, an EU VAT number, and to sign two documents. We’ll handle the rest — and can even demonstrate the process live using your export requirement.
